(14 Dec 2018) As Israeli excavators dug into the rocky hills along the frontier with the Lebanese village of Mays al-Jabal, a crowd of young Lebanese men gathered.
The mood was light as they watched what Israel has dubbed OperationNorthernShield - which aims to destroy cross-border tunnels Israel says were built by the Hezbollah group for attacks.
The young men posed for selfies with the Israeli crew behind them, making fires and brewing tea to keep themselves warm.
But Lebanese soldiers were visibly on high alert, deploying to new camouflaged posts behind sandbags or inside abandoned homes.
About two dozen UN peacekeepers stood in a long line, just ahead of the blue line demarcating the frontier between the two countries technically still at war.
The scene underscores the palpable anxiety that any misstep could lead to a conflagration between the two states that no one seems to want.
Last weekend, shadows that appeared across the misty hills of Mays al-Jabal sparked panic, and Israeli soldiers fired in the air to warn a Lebanese military intelligence patrol, according to the Lebanese NationalNews Agency.
Israel said it fired at approaching Hezbollah members who came to the site to dismantle sensors installed to detect tunnels.
Israel said they have discovered at least three tunnels along the frontier and called on the international community to impose new sanctions on Hezbollah.
Hezbollah, which fought a bruising but inconclusive war with Israel in 2006, has not commented on the Israeli operation or statements.
But Lebanese officials said they are ready to take action after receiving a full report from the UN peacekeeping force, which has called it a "serious" occurrence and appealed to keep the calm.
''The Lebanese army will deal with this issue. Full stop," said Lebanese Prime Minister-designateSaad Hariri on Thursday in London.
He said neither Israel nor Lebanon wanted to go to war but added that Israel violates Lebanese airspace and international waters on a regular basis.
In southern Lebanon on Thursday, Lebanese army soldiers observed the frontier in Mays al-Jabal, taking photos of their Israeli counterparts operating only a few metres (yards) away.
At times, the Lebanese soldiers asked the young men to move back, away from the frontier.
"The Israelis are saying there are tunnels for Hezbollah here, that's what is happening, but there are no tunnels," said local resident, HusseinDaher. "It is all a play."
Hezbollah has sent hundreds of fighters to Syria to fight alongside the forces of Syrian PresidentBashar Assad.
Many say now with the war winding down in Syria, and Hezbollah and Assad's forces emerging victorious, Israel is turning to Lebanon.
Israel frequently carries out airstrikes in Syria against its archenemy Iran and its allies.
Israel says it aims to prevent sophisticated weaponry from reaching Hezbollah, which it considers as its most pressing security concern.
Israeli officials have said they are preparing for renewed hostilities.
About 20 kilometres (12 miles) to the north from Mays al-Jabal, Israeli soldiers are also operating along another frontier to uncover what they suspect is a tunnel location.
There, a high concrete wall separates them from the Lebanese village of Kfar Kela.
UN peacekeepers and the Lebanese army separately patrol the area.
Israel began building the wall in 2012, and this section was completed weeks ago.
While graffiti covers the older slabs of concrete, water has collected under the newer segment of the wall.

Story:
Lebanon’s Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri said Israel did not provide any proof of cross-border attack tunnels in a meeting with UN peacekeepers on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced the launch of 'OperationNorthernShield,' to prevent and destroy underground tunnels dug by Hezbollah from Lebanon into Israeli territory.
On Wednesday, representatives from Israel, Lebanon, and the United NationsInterimForce in Lebanon (UNIFIL) convened for a meeting scheduled prior to the beginning of the tunnel operation.
A statement from UNIFIL said both Israel and Lebanon had agreed during the meeting that UNIFIL would send a technical team to Israel on Thursday 'to ascertain the facts.'
Berri, a political ally of Hezbollah, said Lebanon had asked during the meeting for geographic coordinates of the alleged tunnels, a request which was not obliged.
'The Israelis did not present any information' at Wednesday’s meeting with the Lebanese army and the UNIFIL peacekeeping force, Berri’s office said in a statement.
'This (Israeli accusation) is not based on any real facts at all,' Ali Bazzi, a lawmaker from Berri’s parliamentary bloc claimed the speaker said after a meeting.

As the Islamic State massacred its way throughout Iraq and Syria this summer, a separate battle took place in neighboring Lebanon.
This summer, the Islamic State invaded the Lebanese border town of Arsal, beheading captured soldiers and unleashing waves of lethal car bombs, destabilizing the country.
Hezbollah, one of the world's strongest guerrilla armies, has also become involved — either defending Lebanon, or making things worse, depending on who you ask.
VICE News traveled to Lebanon to explore the battle being waged by one of the world's fiercest militant groups against one of the Middle East’s smallest and most fragile nations.

He said neither Israel nor Lebanon wanted to go to war but added that Israel violates Lebanese airspace and international waters on a regular basis.
In southern Lebanon on Thursday, Lebanese army soldiers observed the frontier in Mays al-Jabal, taking photos of their Israeli counterparts operating only a few metres (yards) away.
At times, the Lebanese soldiers asked the young men to move back, away from the frontier.
"The Israelis are saying there are tunnels for Hezbollah here, that's what is happening, but there are no tunnels," said local resident, HusseinDaher. "It is all a play."
Hezbollah has sent hundreds of fighters to Syria to fight alongside the forces of Syrian PresidentBashar Assad.
Many say now with the war winding down in Syria, and Hezbollah and Assad's forces emerging victorious, Israel is turning to Lebanon.
Israel frequently carries out airstrikes in Syria against its archenemy Iran and its allies.
Israel says it aims to prevent sophisticated weaponry from reaching Hezbollah, which it considers as its most pressing security concern.
Israeli officials have said they are preparing for renewed hostilities.
About 20 kilometres (12 miles) to the north from Mays al-Jabal, Israeli soldiers are also operating along another frontier to uncover what they suspect is a tunnel location.
There, a high concrete wall separates them from the Lebanese village of Kfar Kela.
UN peacekeepers and the Lebanese army separately patrol the area.
Israel began building the wall in 2012, and this section was completed weeks ago.
While graffiti covers the older slabs of concrete, water has collected under the newer segment of the wall.

NEWSDESK | Israelis have had strong words condemning the Hezbollah tunnels in southern Lebanon. But what about the Lebanese themselves? How do Lebanon's experts see this? Our Mohammad Al-Kassim has the story.
Story:
Lebanon’s Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri said Israel did not provide any proof of cross-border attack tunnels in a meeting with UN peacekeepers on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced the launch of 'OperationNorthernShield,' to prevent and destroy underground tunnels dug by Hezbollah from Lebanon into Israeli territory.
On Wednesday, representatives from Israel, Lebanon, and the United NationsInterimForce in Lebanon (UNIFIL) convened for a meeting scheduled prior to the beginning of the tunnel operation.
A statement from UNIFIL said both Israel and Lebanon had agreed during the meeting that UNIFIL would send a technical team to Israel on Thursday 'to ascertain the facts.'
Berri, a political ally of Hezbollah, said Lebanon had asked during the meeting for geographic coordinates of the alleged tunnels, a request which was not obliged.
'The Israelis did not present any information' at Wednesday’s meeting with the Lebanese army and the UNIFIL peacekeeping force, Berri’s office said in a statement.
'This (Israeli accusation) is not based on any real facts at all,' Ali Bazzi, a lawmaker from Berri’s parliamentary bloc claimed the speaker said after a meeting.

Lebanese wary as Israel destroys Hezbollah tunnels

(14 Dec 2018) As Israeli excavators dug into the rocky hills along the frontier with the Lebanese village of Mays al-Jabal, a crowd of young Lebanese men gathered.
The mood was light as they watched what Israel has dubbed OperationNorthernShield - which aims to destroy cross-border tunnels Israel says were built by the Hezbollah group for attacks.
The young men posed for selfies with the Israeli crew behind them, making fires and brewing tea to keep themselves warm.
But Lebanese soldiers were visibly on high alert, deploying to new camouflaged posts behind sandbags or inside abandoned homes.
About two dozen UN peacekeepers stood in a long line, just ahead of the blue line demarcating the frontier between the two countries technically still at war.
The scene underscores the palpable anxiety that any misstep could lead to a conflagration between the two states that no one seems to want.
Last weekend, shadows that appeared across the misty hills of Mays al-Jabal sparked panic, and Israeli soldiers fired in the air to warn a Lebanese military intelligence patrol, according to the Lebanese NationalNews Agency.
Israel said it fired at approaching Hezbollah members who came to the site to dismantle sensors installed to detect tunnels.
Israel said they have discovered at least three tunnels along the frontier and called on the international community to impose new sanctions on Hezbollah.
Hezbollah, which fought a bruising but inconclusive war with Israel in 2006, has not commented on the Israeli operation or statements.
But Lebanese officials said they are ready to take action after receiving a full report from the UN peacekeeping force, which has called it a "serious" occurrence and appealed to keep the calm.
''The Lebanese army will deal with this issue. Full stop," said Lebanese Prime Minister-designateSaad Hariri on Thursday in London.
He said neither Israel nor Lebanon wanted to go to war but added that Israel violates Lebanese airspace and international waters on a regular basis.
In southern Lebanon on Thursday, Lebanese army soldiers observed the frontier in Mays al-Jabal, taking photos of their Israeli counterparts operating only a few metres (yards) away.
At times, the Lebanese soldiers asked the young men to move back, away from the frontier.
"The Israelis are saying there are tunnels for Hezbollah here, that's what is happening, but there are no tunnels," said local resident, HusseinDaher. "It is all a play."

Israeli officials have said they are preparing for renewed hostilities.
About 20 kilometres (12 miles) to the north from Mays al-Jabal, Israeli soldiers are also operating along another frontier to uncover what they suspect is a tunnel location.
There, a high concrete wall separates them from the Lebanese village of Kfar Kela.

Israel began building the wall in 2012, and this section was completed weeks ago.
While graffiti covers the older slabs of concrete, water has collected under the newer segment of the wall.
